@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaLRC -> BrainRegionLRC_MM_PT_PR
This page covers biological details of component Principal Pretectal Nucleus. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.
- Top-down path to region: Midbrain Mesencephalon -> Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF) -> Visual Reflexes Nuclei of Midbrain Mesencephalon (MM.REF.VIS) -> Pretectum (MM.PT) -> Principal Pretectal Nucleus (LRC.MM.PT.PR) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Brain area: Lower Brain - Motor Reflex Area
- Role: processor.automatic
- Function: Pupillary light reflex
- Notes to function: Affected by visual cortex and projects to EWN
